The fifth pit stop is likely to be the one that gives students the most trouble. Warrants and backing (which we are calling the “chain of reasoning”) are new concepts for most people, and they may need some instruction. For more information on warrants, refer to the unit on Toulmin. During the pit stop, students are given a series of six statements that they must classify as Authority, Logic, or Theory. Students make their selection by dragging the statement into the appropriately labeled bin. If they are incorrect, they can try again.
After successfully classifying all six statements, players will return to the race and drive to the next pit stop.
